Well, I’m not in a position to write about all Rovio games, but only about all Angry Birds (AB, Seasons, Rio, Space, SW, SWII and Stella).
First I can say is that they are developped for all ages.
I need to clearly express that this is very rare (being fit for all ages) in computer games.
I have seen 4/5 years old kids playing and having fun as they pop the pigs.
I am 56 from Turkey, and play AB with my daughter, my son and hopefully will be playing with my granddaughter in a few years.
OK it is fun, enjoyable, but in addition to be game, it is a kind of puzzle.
First of all it forces you to think, where to aim the bird, when to release, where to leave the egg, split, accelerate etc. OK, kids play and have fun, but do not generate a strategy for 3 stars. The feature of the game to force you to generate a strategy is the most amazing side of the game for me.
I have spoken with some friends about AB, they said that they play, of course not in the way as we do as the check the comments of friends for better scores. Mostly, and I personally think over 99 %, leave playing as they reach 3 stars.
When I told a lawyer that I play at least 1 hour or more every day for better scores, she said that it is a matter of some hours for her to reach 3 stars in all levels, but she does not continue afterwards for better scores.
About Stella, yes I agree that it has a bit of different format and sounds, may be generated with reference to yourger ages, but definitely not childish but as I say, a bit different than the overall concept (I am waiting for 1.11 suprises!).
JUDGEMENT (I’m a lawyer): AB is a game which can be (and definitely should be) played by everyone in this world. It is not childish but it is for all ages and genders. Thanks Rovio for providing us such bright games.
